Hey all! Wanted to make a quick post for anyone international who’s eyes glazed over when they googled for visa options. Here’s what to do sorted by what country you’re in:
Are you a citizen of one these countries and don’t have a US Visa?
Andorra 🇦🇩
Australia 🇦🇺
Brunei 🇧🇳

South Korea 🇰🇷

You don’t need to do anything for a visa before you’re invited to the Zephyr. Once you’re accepted we’ll help you file for something called ESTA– if approved, it’ll let you come into the US. There’s no need to apply for it now, and if you apply after you’re invited to the Zephyr we’ll pay the application fees. Oh, and make sure to not go to one of these countries 2 weeks before the trip

You don’t need to do anything for a visa before you’re invited to the Zephyr. You should still apply, but I want to temper your expectations: there’s a ban on flying directly from these countries. We’ll be in touch about options, but either the ban will have to be lifted, or you’ll have to arrange staying in another country (not on this list) for 2 weeks before the trip. Please don’t set anything in stone before you receive an invite. For the time being, just focus on applying & getting your vaccination if available.
Are you a citizen in another country & don’t have a US Visa? You should still register your interest, but we don’t have a mechanism to get you into the country right now. The regular visa process requires consulates, and those are shut down due to COVID. If you’re invited we’ll do whatever we can to help you get here.
